John 4:16-25

¹⁶Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”

¹⁷The woman answered and said, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus says to her: “You stated correctly that you do not have a husband,

¹⁸because you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is no husband of yours. You spoke the truth there!”

¹⁹The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, while you (pl) say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹Jesus says to her: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²²You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we Jews worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews.

²³But the time is coming, in fact now is, when the genuine worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Really, because the Father is looking for such people to worship Him.

²⁴God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵The woman says to Him: “I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ). When He comes He will explain everything to us.”
